Huddersfield Town were tipped to be one of the contenders for an instant return to the Championship so their impressive start to life in the Premier League may have shocked many, but not Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare.

David Wagner’s side, who were promoted after winning the play-off final on penalties, won their opening two games and are riding high in sixth place in the table after the first four games.

They have been described as the surprise package as their players are not household names.

But for Shakespeare their flying start has not been a shock, and he has warned his City side they are facing a team full of confidence, spirit and momentum at the John Smith’s Stadium.

“In terms of momentum sometimes coming up the way they did, they have the momentum with them, in terms of their performances,” said Shakespeare.

“They had a disappointing result against West Ham, but no they haven’t surprised me.

“From what I've seen so far they have a great spirit and will be difficult to play against.

“I’ve spoken about the word momentum with them and they've used that to their advantage.

“The home crowd has got behind them. They are after a quick start at their stadium and we are aware of that.

“But we know we can cause them problems as well and we have to be aware of what we're good at and take that into Saturday's game.”
